Mission Statement

GEDC is a non-profit volunteer organization that strives to improve the quality of life and economic well being of our community through education, youth service learning projects, housing, and community beautification projects.

Description

GEDC has assisted in getting an affordable housing down payment assistance program for first time homebuyers building a new home. We assisted in the purchase of real estate to form a new housing subdivision. We collaborated in order to have abandoned buildings removed from our main street. We wrote a grant to assist the community in a intergenerational Visioning process. We have been able to leverage grant awards to purchase planters and benches, playground equipment, and start a youth gardening program. We have also been involved with promoting sun safety and recycling/beautification projects.
